In 2008, The Lady Musgrave Trust hosted its first Forum for Organisations Working with Homeless
Women and the Forum has now become an annual event. Following that first Forum, a Working
Group was set up to ensure the Forum remained relevant to the various organisations that
attended. It was during this time that individuals working in the homelessness area throughout
Brisbane identified the need for a printed directory of services and other resources to be made
available to homeless women or women at risk of becoming homeless.
In 2011, the first A Handy Guide for Homeless Women in Brisbane was published and the
inaugural edition’s print run of 2,000 copies was underwritten by the then Office for Women in the
Queensland Government’s Department of Communities. Sincere thanks to The Working Group
members who sourced the information for the debut edition and worked on subsequent editions.
This 2015-2016 update of A Handy Guide for Women in Brisbane was made possible through the
generous assistance of many organisations.
First, my thanks to the Working Group for 2015, who updated the content of this booklet and also
ensured the 2015 Forum was another success. Representatives of the Working Group were:
• The Lady Musgrave Trust
• Centacare
• DV Connect
• Dress for Success
•
•
•
•
Ozcare
Alcohol and Drug Homeless Outreach Team, Department of Health
Housing Services, Department of Housing and Public Works
Institute for Urban Indigenous Health
My sincere thanks to the Department of Housing and Public Works who provided much needed
funding for printing services and administration.
And of course I wish to thank The Lady Musgrave Trust who coordinated and provided funding.
Over the next 12 months, 5,000 copies of the 2015 edition of A Handy Guide for Homeless Women
in Brisbane will be distributed.
The aim of A Handy Guide for Homeless Women in Brisbane was simple: to provide practical,
relevant and useful information on where to get help with a variety of issues that impact on women
experiencing homelessness in Brisbane.
We sincerely hope this booklet will find its way to those who need it.

Drop-In and Support Centres
What They Offer
Drop‐In and Support Centres, or Neighbourhood Centres, are a good place to start if you need to
find out information about what support services are available in the vicinity.
These centres are designed to be non‐judgmental central “hubs” of information here you can get
referrals; organise identity documents (ID) or a printout of income statements and the like; get
support letters for accessing government or community‐based housing; find out about emergency
relief in your local area including financial assistance, food and accommodation and – depending
on the centre – even provide some of this assistance on‐site.
There are often a range of health, social, legal and government services operating from drop‐in
centres.
Remember that most places will not provide financial support over the phone and will require an
in‐person assessment, so it is best to make your way to a drop‐in centre as soon as you think you
might be approaching a crisis.
Early intervention helps prevent situations getting too out of control.
Most drop‐in centres have free access to the Internet, phones and can often be registered as a
mailing address if you do not have a permanent or consistent residence.

Housing Services
Department of Housing and Public Works
The Department of Housing and Public Works can help you find an affordable home in the private
rental market or through the social housing system.
RentConnect will help you find a home in the private rental market by providing tailored support
to guide you through the process. If you can manage a tenancy, but need help because you:
•
•
•
•
have limited rental history
don’t understand how the private rental market works
don’t have enough money to pay for a bond
don’t have all the documents for a private rental application,
RentConnect can help you with these concerns.
RentConnect assistance can include a rental grant, which is a once-only grant of two weeks rent to
help cover the costs of moving into private rental accommodation and/or a bond loan, which is an
interest-free loan of up to four weeks rent, to help pay the bond for a rental property.
You can also register for the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) which provides
accommodation options at 20 percent or more below the market rent for that area. Both
RentConnect and NRAS programs have strict eligibility criteria.
Social housing is secure and affordable rental accommodation for low to moderate income earners
and those who have difficulty accessing accommodation in the private rental market. Social
housing is provided for the duration of demonstrated housing need.
To access this housing, you must register with the department and you will be placed on the
housing register. Waiting times can vary depending on the level of need and nomination of
preferred locations.
For more information about these services, including eligibility criteria and application processes,
please call 13 QGOV (13 74 68), visit www.qld.gov.au/housing or visit your nearest Housing
Service Centre.

signposts.
